Join the 5Rhythms Dance Movement
with Kierra Foster Ba

Movement Meditation Dance Classes on Zoom, in the comfort and privacy of your own home!

 My mission is to lead 5Rhythms dance classes and workshops across the nation and globe to promote human liberation and wellness.

 Our ancestors danced…

They danced for healing, transformation, to create community, to unify the will in preparation for a hunt or to wage war.  They danced for ritual, for celebration, for artistic expression.  Our ancestors danced in every single part of the world.  We are each from a long line of ancestors who danced.  It is quite recent in human history that dancing is no longer an integral part of our lives.

Meet your 5Rhythms® dance teacher, Kierra Foster-Ba

Kierra Foster-Ba standing with her arms out and smiling really big.

Kierra Foster-Ba has studied the 5Rhythms® with Gabrielle Roth, the founder, for 15+ years. Kierra appears in Gabrielle's Power Wave video and in the documentary "Dances of Ecstasy". She also dances with PURE (Public Urban Ritual Experiment) an international organization of artists devoted to using belly dance to promote peace and end suffering. Her experiences have culminated in her creating her unique body of work called H.U.M. (Healing using movement)!

What’s the 5Rhythms®?

The 5Rhythms®, a dance-based meditation practice, can be an essential part of integrating the shadow.  This body-based practice is both a philosophy and a powerful vehicle for human liberation.  In it, we dance with polarities.  

One example is flowing vs. inertia.  

We also practice deep permission and acceptance.

Our dance is not about what we look like, as our dance may be graceful or graceless, and all that is between in any given moment, as we tap into the wisdom of our bodies.

I would love to share this practice with you!  I teach a weekly class online (Zoom!) every Wednesday, from 7-8 pm EST, at $15 per person. 

From the privacy and comfort of your own home!

H.U.M. Healing Using Movement

Kierra has created her own body of work using dance as a tool for profound healing and transformation.  It is both a synthesis of what she has studied over the past 30 + years and her unique understanding of integrating all parts of the self (the shiny bits we are proud to show people and the bits that are like dented up tin cans that we hide even from ourselves.)  This body of trademarked work is called H.U.M.  Healing Using Movement.  It combines authentic dance, vocal sound, and sensuality.

 Our dance is not about what we look like, as our dance may be graceful or graceless and all that is between in any given moment as we tap into the wisdom of our bodies.

“In many shamanic societies, if you came to a medicine person complaining of being disheartened, dispirited, or depressed, they would ask one of four questions:

"When did you stop dancing?

When did you stop singing?

When did you stop being enchanted by stories?

When did you stop being comforted by the sweet territory of silence?”
